we have gusts to nearly 30mph. and it's important to remember that as you get closer to the fire, these fires can generate their own microclimates and they can generate wind gusts near the base of the fire that are far greater than the winds at these locations that are receiving the weather observations. so the firefighters are up against a challenge right now as the winds are likely to continue being gusty during the late night and overnight hours before tapering off a bit tomorrow. and we have a little bit of a heat spike coming in a couple of days, which also increases concerns about the fires. i'll have a full look at the weather in just a few minutes. jr. >> spencer, thank you so much. we look forward to that. we are sending updates as they happen on this brushfire on the abc seven news bay area app. you can download it and enable push alerts to get news notifications sent to your mobile device. in the south bay police in san jose are investigating the city's 17th homicide of the year. officers got a call about a person down just after 1115 this morning near 17th street and east santa clara, right next to

sajak. the 77 year old has hosted the iconic game show since 1983. last june, he announced he would retire following wheel of fortune's 41st season, which ends friday. ryan seacrest will take over as host in september. you can watch sajak's final shows weeknights at 730 here on abc seven news. join right now by spencer christian. and you know, in his heyday, he was averaging over 40 million viewers. so it's almost like this newscast. exactly right. >> maybe we'll pick up a couple of years now and increase our numbers. yes they might be outside enjoying the weather though. i hope they are. we've got pleasant weather out there. a bit breezy though, i should say. in fact, gusty in some spots. and as you can see, there's a mass of clouds pushing into the pacific northwest right now. some of those low clouds will form here in the bay area during the late night and overnight hours. but the main factor in the weather right now, the headline is the gusts up to 41mph at sfo, 24mph at novato. and all across the region. we

have fairly windy conditions. i did have a nice view for you here from sutro tower looking out over san francisco. apparently the low clouds here we go. you see a clearing a little bit 58 degrees in san francisco, right now we have mid 60s at oakland and hayward, low 70s at san jose and redwood city, 57 at half moon bay. cue the clouds. now the view from mount tam looking down onto the bay. the temperature readings at this hour 86 at santa rosa, petaluma 6877 napa. low 80s at fairfield and concord, 76 at livermore. and now we'll take a look at our forecast headlines tomorrow. mild but cooler than today was. but then tuesday and wednesday we're going to experience some sizzling summer like heat. in fact, the heat advisory will be in effect for % of thursday with the risk of heat related illness under these hot conditions. right now, though, we're looking at the evening and the overnight hours, bringing us an increase in clouds and of course, the cooling effect into tomorrow. so we'll see temperatures a little bit lower tomorrow than they were today. but the overnight numbers are not looking very low at all. it's going to be uncomfortably warm in some

spots, with overnight lows generally in the upper 50s to low and mid 60s. so if you don't have air conditioning, i hope you find a way to stay cool and sleep comfortably tonight. now. highs tomorrow 59 half moon bay 65, san francisco low 70s on the bay shoreline, mainly upper 70s inland. and i mentioned that heat spike. we have a heat advisory in effect for all of the bay area away from the coast and the shoreline from 8 a.m. tuesday to midnight, thursday. and it's an excessive heat warning for solano county under these conditions and increased risk of heat related illness if you don't stay hydrated and if you don't, and if you expose yourself to too much direct sunlight and heat. okay, so here's the accuweather seven day forecast cooler tomorrow mid 80s inland low 70s around the bay. upper 90s to about 100 inland. tuesday and wednesday, upper 80s to near 90 around the bay shoreline those two days. even on thursday as the heat eases a bit. still very warm inland with mid 90s expected, there, but the heat eases more on friday and
